If it wasn't, like, 3:15 in the morning, I would think of something funny and clever to say but it's not, so i didn't. I recently got back into playing thief: Deadly Shadows. I've had the game for three years and never finished it, so i figured that i might as well give it another shot. I've decided that it is the greatest stealth game for the original xbox. I admit, it has some flaw, but it is still REALLY enjoyable. If you ever find yourself with a few extra bucks and you're in a mall, i would pick it up. One of the things that makes it so good are the cool characters, especially the main character: The master Thief named Garrett. He's so good at what he does, not one thing seems to surprise or impress him, even when dealing with the undead, guards and religious radicals. Also, they added a bit of realism to the game by NOT making Garrett very strong of ninja-like. You can't easily overpower the enemies of the game because frankly; they're much stronger. Garrett does have a dagger, but that's only for the most sticky of situations. Most of the time he gets by using his blackjack(knock enemies out from behind), water arrows(puts out torches/candles), and flacsbombs(bombs that flash). There are more weapons in Garretts arsenal but those are the ones i find are most helpful. Unlike other games, where you don't need to be undetected and the darkness seems like a game flaw, in thief the darkness is your friend. Garrett becomes effectively invisible in darkness when he is crouching or wall flattening. Once i beat it, i'm totally going to write a review, but now i'm so tired that i don't even know if what i'm saying makes sense.
